The Australian women's hockey team has beaten England in a thrilling penalty shoot-out to claim their fourth Commonwealth Games gold medal.
The Hockeyroos scored with 14 seconds left to be tied 1-1 at fulltime, then they won 3-1 on penalties.
New Zealand salvaged bronze with a 5-2 win over South Africa in the play-off for third.
Three brilliant saves by goalkeeper Rachael Lynch gave the Hockeyroos the most thrilling of gold medal victories by 3-1 on penalties.
"It was an amazing feeling. With 14 seconds left on the clock and to score was unbelievable," Kenny said.
Lynch, described by forward Georgie Parker as the best keeper in the world, was confident going into the shootout.
"Unbelievable. We've had some close games but nothing like that. I touched the ball only once so when we got the goal I was confident with our one on ones and with my keeping (in penalties)," she said.
Australians took to Twitter using the hashtag roovolution to mark the celebrations after the win.
It was one of five gold medals Australia won on the second last day of competition, along with those by pole vaulter Alana Boyd, boxers Andrew Moloney and Shelley Watts and diver Esther Qin.
England is unassailable on top of the medals table with 56 gold in a total of 165, well ahead of Australia's 45 gold and 132 in all.
Lightweight Watts became Australia's first female Commonwealth Games boxing gold medallist when she beat India's Laishram Devi in her final and is now aiming to make more history at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
"I'll head to the worlds and hopefully get myself a world ranking and then start looking to Rio," said the 26-year-old from Laurieton, near Port Macquarie.
Watts only started boxing four years ago, about the same time Moloney started thinking about Glasgow after he was beaten in the quarter-finals in Delhi.
Moloney won the flyweight final in a unanimous decision against Pakistan's Muhammed Waseem who accused the referee and judges of cheating in an expletive-laden tirade after the fight.
"It's all I've thought about for the past four years," said Moloney.
"All I wanted was the gold medal here."
Boyd successfully defended her pole vault title in heavy rain at Hampden Park with an ultimate clearance of 4.50m.
And six years after migrating from China, Qin won gold for her adopted country in the three metre springboard.
Australia's men's hockey team will be out to emulate the women when they play for a fifth consecutive gold medal against India in the final on Sunday after beating England 4-1 in a fiery semi-final.
